The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu is yet to order the release of First Lady, Aisha Buhari’s security aides after they were arrested following an altercation/shooting incident at the Presidential Villa.
POLITICS NIGERIA earlier reported that Mrs Buhari, on Friday evening, appealed to the IG via Twitter to release her aides in order to protect them from the COVID-19 Pandemic. As at the time of filing this report, her aides are still in custody.
It was gathered that the First lady’s security aides had an altercation with the President’s personal secretary, Tunde Sabiu Yusuf, who refused to self-isolate after returning from a trip to Lagos.
He was reportedly assaulted by Mrs Buhari’s guard’s commander and had to escape to the apartment of Mamman Daura, the President’s powerful nephew.
According to Sahara reporters, Mr. Daura contacted the Inspector-General of police to effect the arrest of Mrs Buhari’s security detail responsible for the attack on Yusuf.
“Daura then summoned Isa Funtua to a meeting to discuss next steps on how to deal with Aisha’s latest excesses. They contacted the IG of police, who initially declined, asking that the issue be handled by Villa officials, but he was warned to order the arrest of Aisha ADC, a formerly with Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello. The ADC was seen to be powerful because he knew the secrets of the cabal and was said to help Bello move cash to the cabal while he was there in Kogi. He also had a reputation for being ruthless as Bello’s ADC.
“When Buhari was informed, he asked that an investigation be done but it is believed that Buhari is in a state of dementia and most times don’t even remember the instructions passed out and the cabal around him capitalizes on this to commit atrocities and massive corruption.”
“Tunde has remained in Mamman Daura’s house refusing to enter isolation as directed by Aisha, while the ADC to Mrs Buhari and other aides remain in detention at the FCT command.” a source revealed.
POLITICS NIGERIA reached out to Force spokesperson, Frank Mba for a comment on the issue, he simply told our correspondent that he had no comment.
“I have nothing to say” he said.
